Bright Side supports a number of different charities. Our focus is mainly on education and development of young people in South Africa. Each project we support is run by remarkable people, most of whom Georgina was privileged to live and work with during her 7 years in South Africa in the 1980’s.

 We met Rob Caskie at Fugitives Drift Lodge in Natal, South Africa 5 years ago. We were moved that David Rattray had identified in Rob the gift for telling the remarkable stories of the Anglo Zulu Wars and the lessons that can be learned from them in business life today. David was tragically shot and died in January 2007, but his work continues through Rob, Joseph Ndima and the team at Fugitives Drift.
For the last two years’ Georgina has helped to organise lectures by Rob in Hampshire, UK, and supports work with school children at Rorke’s Drift now conducted under the banner of the David Rattray Foundation in South Africa. For more information see www.fugitives-drift-lodge.com |
